Ethereum Price Tops $3,100: Mega Wedge Breakout Imminent

NEWSBTC
After a prolonged period of weakness for a year and a half against
the Bitcoin price, the Ethereum price is currently showing strength
again and could be set for an explosive move, according to several
renowned analysts. Ethereum/BTC Chart Is A ‘Stunner’ In an analysis
of the ETH/BTC trading pair, renowned financial expert Raoul Pal
has brought to light a compelling dual-chart pattern. The formation
of both a “mega wedge” and an inner descending channel is setting
the stage for what might be a significant breakout for Ethereum
when priced in Bitcoin. Pal stated: The ETH/BTC chart is an
absolute stunner…and ready for the next big move, the break of the
mega wedge…let’s see how it pans out…. The “mega wedge” pattern,
discernible on the weekly ETH/BTC chart, showcases a contraction of
price movement between two converging trend lines over an extended
time frame. The upper trend line, acting as a dynamic resistance,
has repeatedly pushed back ascending price attempts. Conversely,
the lower trend line has provided a sturdy support base. Within the
boundaries of this one and a half year wedge, a more immediate
descending channel has taken shape. This channel, characterized by
a downward trajectory with price action making lower highs and
lower lows, indicates a bearish sentiment within the overarching
consolidation phase of the mega wedge. Related Reading: 800,000 ETH

Ethereum Price? However, Ethereum’s current positioning, slightly
above the upper boundary of this descending channel, implies that a
breakout could be on the cards (if confirmed). As of press time,
Ethereum was trading at an equivalent value of over $3,059, which
translates to roughly 0.06037 BTC. The intersection of these two
patterns, particularly if the breakout from the descending channel
is confirmed, could be a harbinger of increased volatility and a
potential trend reversal for ETH against BTC. A potential retest of
the channel could catalyze a rally towards the mega wedge’s upper
trend line, challenging the longer-term resistance. A successful
breakout from the mega wedge could then ensue, signaling a massive
bullish phase for Ethereum against Bitcoin. More Bullish Voices On
ETH Remarkably, Raoul Pal is not the only seasoned analyst
observing this major trend. Christopher Inks, founder of Texas West
Capital stated via X: The monthly ETH/ BTC chart looks crazy
bullish off the lows. Bullish SFP, volume expansion at the lows,
rally into descending resistance. An impulsive break out above that
descending resistance will have me looking for price to target the
top of the range and, likely, new ATHs. Renowned analyst Will
Clemente has also weighed in on the unfolding situation with his
expert commentary, echoing the significance of the patterns
observed by Raoul Pal. Clemente accentuates the breaking of a
multi-year downtrend on the weekly chart, a technical milestone
that carries substantial weight for market sentiment. Clemente’s
analysis further deepens the plot by highlighting several key
factors currently at play in the Ethereum ecosystem. First,
Ethereum’s price action has revisited and swept the lows of May
2022, a move often associated with shaking out weak hands before a
potential trend reversal. Related Reading: Ethereum Breaks Back

of “Ethereum obituaries” on social media timelines suggests a
sentiment extreme, often seen at major turning points. Moreover,
there is currently a new narrative for ETH shaping, the emergence
of “restaking”. Probably the strongest catalyst for the ETH price
in the coming months could be the potential approval of an spot
Ethereum ETF in the United States. Similar to the Bitcoin ETF
euphoria, Clemente speculates that the approval has not yet been
priced in. Lastly, Uniswap’s governance proposal to switch on fees
could redirect significant value to token holders, potentially
adding further bullish momentum to ETH’s valuation. Clemente caps
his commentary with a forecast that resonates with the sentiments
of many observers: “ETH & ETH shitcoin rotation is probably
upon us.” At press time, ETH traded at $3,059. Featured image
